Chapter 2 - Hebeth | DOOM: The Dark Ages | Walkthrough, Gameplay, No Commentary, 4K

DOOM: The Dark Ages is a highly anticipated first-person shooter, set to launch on May 15, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S. This installment serves as a prequel to the critically acclaimed DOOM (2016) and DOOM Eternal, chronicling the Doom Slayer's early days as he becomes the ultimate weapon against Hell in a unique "techno-medieval" setting. The game emphasizes a heavier, more strategic combat experience, introducing new weapons like the Shield Saw and Skull Crusher, alongside pilotable vehicles such as a cybernetic dragon and a massive Atlan mech. Built on the id Tech 8 engine, it promises expansive levels and a cinematic narrative to flesh out the Doom universe. Chapter 2 of DOOM: The Dark Ages, titled "Hebeth," plunges the Doom Slayer onto a crucial, distant planet, the site of the Trans-Dimensional Barrier. This colossal structure, powered by Aetherium Crystals, is designed to sever Hell's ability to open portals into Argent D'Nur. The Slayer's mission is to defend this vital defense from demonic incursions. The chapter begins with the immediate acquisition of the Shield Saw, a versatile tool for both defense and offense. This weapon introduces the "Superheated" mechanic, where damaging enemy armor allows players to heat and then shatter it for significant damage and to expose vulnerabilities. Navigating Hebeth involves progressing through a Weapons Facility and a Research Lab, encountering staple enemies like the Hell Knight, which serves as a tutorial for the parry mechanic. New demonic threats emerge, including the fire-resistant Stone Imps, cloaked Nightmare Imp Stalkers, and the formidable Mancubus. The Accelerator, a plasma rifle-type weapon, is acquired later, proving highly effective against enemies with plasma shields. Environmental puzzles, such as a fire door requiring a valve to be turned, add to the traversal challenges. A new traversal mechanic, the Shield Recall Jump, allows the Slayer to reach new heights by throwing the shield at specific "Flesh Nodes" and launching towards it. Hebeth is rich with secrets, including nine secret areas, twelve gold stashes, and three main collectibles: an Imp Stalker Toy, the Hebeth Codex entry, and a Nightmare Shredder Skin. Gold can be used at Sentinel Shrines for upgrades. The chapter culminates in a boss battle against a Pinky Rider Leader, an enhanced foe with unique shield attacks. Defeating this leader, by superheating and shattering its armor, rewards the player with a Demonic Essence, permanently upgrading maximum health. With the Pinky Rider Leader defeated, the mission on Hebeth concludes, paving the way for the next chapter, Barrier Core.
